A Business Woman.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
A Chicago bank man who has a
lovely wife told a prettygood story at
his club the other day by way of
illustrating the proverbial ways of
women. She had said to him {:
dear, now I'm not going to ask you
for an allowance; that is vulgar. You
put a couple of thousand in bank to
my credit, give me a check book, and
T1l run the house, clothe myself, and
relieve you of so much care"
The gentleman was struck with the
idea. "After ALL" he said to himself,
"this marriage scrape I've got my
self into promises to pan out. Dear,
good little woman! how thoughtful
of her. Why, of coursew So he
drew a check on his own bank, de-
posted it in another bank to his
wife's individual credit, and gave her
a separate bank and check book.
Woman-like she tossed thebank book
into a drawer, but held religiously to
the check book. Long before the
month had expired she got a notice
from the bank that her account was
exhausted, and the last check had
overdrawn it $l,79. "Would she
kindly make a new deposit :"
The lady was in & furious fume.
There must be something wrong, she
knew. She poured over her check
book, counted the stubs and blank
checks, and then she knew that the
bank had made a blunder. She
donned her new Easter bonnet and

Absolute Cure for Rheumatism

DYERsBURG, Tenn, Feb. %, 1887.
Gentlemen-In 1883 / had a severe
attack of rheumatism. 1t attacked
me most in my arms and legs. The
latter were drawn'up, and when 1
could walk 1 had to go all bent over.
Finally, l went to Hot Springs, Ark,
where | remained several weeks. /
was benefited and thought 1 was
well, and came home. On my arriv-
al home it developed again. 1 then
took a course of S. S. S., using three
dozen bottles. They thoroughly
cured me, and from that day to this
| have been perfectly free from rheu-
matism.
l regard S. S. S. as absolute in the
cur of rheumatism, and a perfect
blood purifier. / think it the best
medicine in the world, and if I can
help it 1 never expect to use any 9TH
er. 1t is a splendid generalmedicine,
cleansing out the system, and thus
getting at the root of most diseases.

in a town lot, knowing that it won't
support a family, isa mystery, when
broad acres of rich land are inviting
men, at fair figures, to settle and be
happy.
Land that won't produce healthy
sand Lizards, nor encourage the
propagation Of horned toads is selling
away out near the foothills of the San
Bernardino range of mountains at
fabulous prices, ranging from $500 to
$4,000 per acre, and town lots in the
midst of great deserts selling in still
greater proportion, and barely a pos
sibility ofanyone earning a legitimate
livelihood in the whole region.
Spectators invest rapidly and
wildly in all of them regardless of
price, and the question of fertility or
utility never enters into considera-
ton, for they find others just as crazy
to jump into the unknown sea of
speculation as themselves, and no one
asks where will this end?
To rich men it is of no importance,
but to the man of family and but
little money it may some day be a
serious question. Our advice to all
such is to secure a farm in a good Sec
ton, then speculate in gravel beds,
sand hills, tarantula dens and cactus
patches to your hearts content, but
first secure a good home for your
family, where you can live upon
something else besides climate.

A Queer Death.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
A COW met with a remarkable
death by strangulation on a farm
near Aurora, Ind, yesterday. Mr..
Bruce, a farmer living near that place,
while going through his pasture no.
ticed one of his COWS acting queer
ly. The COW ran about the field,
jumping from side to side in the most
strange manner. Suddenly it drop
ped over upon its side.
Fastening over to where the COW
lay, Mr.. Bruce found it dead. De-
termining to ascertain the cause of
the creatures death, he caused the
body to be opened. To his surprise
and that of those present, a large
snake was found coiled upknott6d in
the throat Of the animal. The COW
had died from straightforward
chOked to death by the snake. She
had evidently partially swallowed
the reptile while drinking at a spring
in the field, and the snake, in its eff
forts to escape from the closing gull
let of the COW, had become knotted.
Unable to advance or retreat, it had
lodged in its strange receptacle, and
thus choked the unfortunate animal
to death.

Make the Farm Home Pleasant.
American Agriculturist for July.

American Agriculturist for July.
Yes make it so pleasant that the
growing boys and girls will not be
looking forward to the time when
they will be old enough to leave the
farm in search of a p~leasanter place.
We know a well-to-do farmer, hav-
ing eight children, who, as soon as
they r old enough to support them
selves, leave their home. OF the five
boys, not one remains on the farm.
They have gone to clerkships and
other propositions, in preference to
staying on the much despised farm.
A glance in the home may account
somewhat for this. There has never
been any effort to make it attractive
for the children. The parents aim
has been to work and save, with
scarcely a thought that their children
had any other needs than food and
clothing. They are active, bright
minded boys and girls. 1t is no
wonder that the dizziness and monoto-
ny becomes uncomfortable.
This farmer does not hesitate to
spend money in farm improvements,
in fine stock, or in anything that will
advance his financial interest; but
any outlay for the children's pleasure
is regarded as unnecessary and ex-
travagant.
Children cannot feel that sense of
proprietorship in the farm and its
profits that is a stimulant to the
heads of the household, and some
thing is needed to take its place.
Some personal property, even if a
chicken or pig, lisa strong incentive.
Children are sportive by nature-all
young animals are-and some diver
sion is essential for leisure hours
otherwise their minds will wonder
off and dwell on the attractions sup.
posed to pertain to village and city
life.
A few dollars each yearinvested in
reading matter will not only supply
pleasant employment for leisure
hours, but the means of mental i'm
provement as well. There are sc
many excellent, entertaining publ
cations for the young, and at such
low prices, that no family in which
there are children should be without
one or more. But parents should dis
eliminate carefully between a gooG
and a bad class of reading matter, fol
there is a large amount of a fashy
sensational character, wholly unfit
for the young to read.
There is no reason why a country
home should not be a place of pleas
ure and contentment to every mem
Der. There is a freshness and free
dom in farm life that cannot be en-.
jOyed when a person is surrounded
by brick walls. With pleasant men
tai recreation for leisure hours there
need be no unhappy memories of thu
farm to carry through life.

RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN SCHOOLS.

EDITOR BULLETIN - our lSSue Vi
Sept. 10Th has reference to an arti-
Gle signed Teacher" which had
previously appeared in the "Ga-
zette," and which you highly in
dorsed. Please allow me to present,
through the columns of your esteem
ed paper, somewhat different view
of the highly important question as
treated by Teacher"
l agree with Teacher" that Sin
our public schools the teaching of
UNCONVENTIONAL is justly to be for
hidden" on account of the prevail
ing circumstances. 1t has become
a necessary evil. Your assertion
that "denominational teaching of re-
ligion in public schools never bene-
fitted any human being and never
WILL" is rather strong. Still, sup.
posing that such teaching consists
principally in casting ridicule and
hatred on other creeds and religious
practices, ! should not hesitate to
declare your assertion quite correct.
1 perfectly agree with you in that
"a schooling which merely trains
pupils intellect and leaves the mo-
raj nature untouched, is very defec-
tive and not calculated to make de-
sirable members of society
making clever rogues." But l think
"Teacher" has discovered no better
method when he draws distinct { p
line between the religious teaching
which is forbidden in our government
schools and that which is allowed.
He says:
"Truth, honesty, uprightness,
unselfshness, the fear of God, etc.,
not only may be taught in our pub
lie schools, but they should be
taught" You qualify the above
named virtues, "The soul and SUBJ
stance of true religion" But /
think this opinion is at variance with
the belief generally entertained by
all Christian denominations, who
hold that the creed is the founda-
ton and divine charity the soul of
religion. Hence, this view of yours,
cannot be imposed upon the public
schools. Said moral virtues bear
about the same relation to true prac-
ticaI religion as the fruit does to the
tree that bears it. Human nature,
when left to it own resources, is like
a neglected tree bearing wild fruits.
If sound Christian principles are in
grated upon it, and properly culti-
gated, it will bear incomparably
better fruits. Self-sacrificing charl-
ty has always been the exclusive
privilege Of true Christianity. The
Woral philosopher, however honest

this treatment, BY increasing the
amount of alum, the time required
for the separation and settling can
be diminished, and gtce verSd, by
diminishing the amount OF alum
added, a greater time will berequired
for the Qualification. The solution
of alum is made as follows; Dissolve
half an ounce OF alum in a cup OF
boiling water, and when it is all
dissolved pour into quart measure,
and fill to a quart with cold wafer.
(This solution should be kept in q
bottle, labeled "Alum.") Fifty
four drops of this solution contain
two grains of alum, which is the
amount to be added to one gallon of
water. The old-fashioned teaspoon
holds about forty drops; the new
spoons, however, holds about seventy
drops. Hence, q modern teaspoon,
scant full, will be about the right
amount to add TO every gallon of
water to be filtered.

TUESDAY. OCT. Is, 1887.
INDEPENDENCE OF HAWAII.

The independence of Hawaii is a
plank of the Reform platform on
which Mobiles and Representatives
were elected to the Legislature.
The Legislature is definitely pledged
to Independence, and no doubt it is
policy which at least a large pro-
portion of the members of that body
would favor and support of their
own accord, without the obligation
of pledge.
Independence is unquestionably
desired by the bulk of the people.
The natives, who constitute ma
FORTY of the voters, naturally oOrt-
tend for Independence to a man.
Many foreigners, perhaps O ma
jority, are on the same side. Ger
tainly we have not yet heard for
eigner of long residence in the coun-
try and with tangible interest in it,
say that he is opposed 10 1ndepend-
ence. If the nation were directly
appealed to on this question, it
would most assuredly decide in the
affirmative by an overwhelming ma
jority. OF course, intelligent and
thinking people always imply the
condition that the country be able to
manage its own affairs and govern
itself. The wish of the Hawaiian
people we believe also to be in this
particular the will of the great ma
lions whose people have interests
here.
In a free country, where the
power and control of Government
lie with the people, the will OF the
majority must rule; and as long as
a decided majority of the voters of
this country prefers Independence,
it is absurd to talk of cession, and
unless nnder extraordinary circum-
stances, 1t would not be regarded
by the world as just or justifiable
for any nation to take torcible pos
session.
Among the majority who stand
for Independence there may be, and
undoubtedly is, q difference OF
opinion touching the form of Gov
eminent best adapted to the condi-
ton of Hawaii as an Independent
Nation. Is Limited Constitutional
Monarchy, as at present, or a Re-
public the better form of Govern
msnt? is question on which there
is split in public sentiment. No
one Will deny that the greatest
weight of voting power is for the
Monarchy; neither can it be gain. !
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-10-18

said that many residents Of foreign
birth or extraction would prefer q
Republic. Without entering into the
discussion of the subject here, we
may say, in repetition of what we
have said ON former occasions, that, in
our opinion, the latter form OF Gov
eminent is not suited to the peculiar
conditions of these islands. With
our mixed population of many ma
tions we should fear a repetition of
the uncertainty, unrest, and intrigue
of some of the Central American
States.
Be that as it may, there is
another point in connection with
Hawaiian Independence, which may
at the present time be appropriately
discussed more at length. How
may the policy Of Independence
be best carried outY First Of all,
unquestionably, by having an eff
cient, honest, enlightened, liberal,
and progressive Government in all
its departments and parts, securing
the safety of life and property, dis
bursting the public funds to the best
advantage for the general good, in
spring confidence and contentment
at home, and commanding conf
dence and respect abroad. This is
really the best guarantee of indie
pendence the country can have.
Satisfactory internal management
creates loyalty, and affords the
strongest possible reason for the
continued support of the Great
Powers. And this is the condition
which the Ministry and the Legis-
lature are pledged to use their best
endeavors to permanently establish.
There is another point in connec-
ton with Hawaiian Independence
which has been agitated, more or
less, during the past fifteen or six
teen years, and respecting which
opinions have divided. We refer to
the proposition to cede or lease to
the United States Government por-
ton of Pearl Harbor, as coaling
station for her national ships. Poll
ticians have made considerable
capital out of this proposition, con-
tending that the suggested cession
or lease means virtual cession of the
country and the end of Independ-
ence, and the rank and file patriots
have fallen readily into line. An
other view of the question, and one
entitled to consideration, is that the
consummatiOn of the proposition,
as condition of the continuance of
the Reciprocity Treaty, would be
sure and substantial guarantee of
our Independence. Let it be re-
membered that the United States is
not an aggressive nation. She has
more territory than she can occupy
fully for generations to come, in one
big block. She does not cross the
seas to enlarge her possessions.
Some of her richest holdings extend
many degrees along the Pacific
Coast, the nearest continental land
to the Hawaiian Islands. 1t is
therefore her natural policy, while
having no wish to annex these
islands herself, to oppose their an
nexation by any other Power. In
establishing a'coaling station for her
warships at Pearl Harbor, she would
become in a special manner the Pro-
tector of Hawai-, to prevent annexa-
ton by any other country under any
pretext whatever. This is, in brief,
the argument of those who favor the
scheme, and to us it looks sound.
